What Minnesota requires of a caregiver

Minnesota issues no caregiver credential of its own, by its own rules.

  • Unlicensed personnel giving basic home care services for a licensed home care provider must complete a training and competency evaluation on the statutory topics, or pass a written or oral test on their tasks plus a practical skills test, and complete an orientation to home care licensing rules before serving clients; the provider keeps documentation of the required background study.
  • Staying active: At least eight hours of annual training for each 12 months of employment (Minn. Stat. 144A.4796).
